The Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee are a very popular vacation destination for people from all across the globe. The scenery is unbeatable, the hiking is world class and the people who live here are as friendly as they come. While each season has plenty of fun activities to enjoy, the most fun adventure during the hot summer months is spending a day Smoky Mountain whitewater rafting. You’ll love splashing through the rapids and soaking in the scenery in a whole new way, and no Smoky Mountain vacation can be considered complete without it!
1. You’ll Experience Something New and Exciting
Vacations are meant to be laid back and relaxing, but they’re also designed to let you have brand new, exciting experiences! There’s not much you can do that is more fun than rafting at high speeds down the Pigeon River, taking on the fastest rapids and hitting all the biggest waves! For the most exciting ride offered, you’ll want to check out Upper Pigeon River Extreme. This small raft experience is perfect for adrenaline junkies and the ultimate thrill seekers among you!
If you love the idea of a day of rafting but you aren’t ready for extreme tour, Lower Pigeon River rafting might be the right fit for you. This
tour is great for children or anyone who has no prior rafting experience and wants to take it easy. You’ll still have a blast rafting down the river, but we’ll avoid the huge rapids! No matter which tour you choose, you’ll be guided by a friendly professional!
